  • Single-origin nitro cold brew served on tap
  • Tasting notes printed for the house blend, not just descriptors

SAND Cafe★★ Specialty

Southsea's brunch spot with an actual pour-over list: V60 and Chemex sit on the menu next to the standard espresso drinks, not tucked away for show.

Little Coffee★ Everyday

A coffee van on Southsea Common where the owner knows the regulars, pours a flat white people specifically rate, and keeps oat milk on tap.

Crazy crumb bakery and café★ Everyday

A family-run Southsea bakery that pours Routes coffee alongside fresh bread, pastries and cooked breakfasts, with a flat white worth ordering on its own merits.
